## Caption

Most runners overthink nutrition. Here’s what actually matters. 🏃‍♂️
Easy days → fasted. Hard days → fueled. That’s the foundation.

Before long runs and speed sessions I’m loading up on fast carbs — bananas, honey, sourdough, rice crispy treats. Nothing fancy. Just readily available energy so my body isn’t digging into reserves when I need to perform.

When glycogen drops, everything suffers. Power, perceived effort, recovery — all of it. The goal is to leave hard sessions stimulated, not depleted.

Away from training I keep it dead simple: whole foods, minimal ingredients, eat to 80% full, and only track protein. No food noise, no obsessing.

Fuel the work. Recover with quality. That’s it.
